Chapter 80 The st Soul Instructor Association

Not long after, the guard came back trotting.

"The president is already ready in the hall, please come in, both adults."

"Ah."

Su Chen nodded and asked the guards to lead the way.

The hall of the Blacksmiths Association is decorated in an extremely simple style, without any gems or magnificent royal decorations, only a heavy feeling brought by metal. Even the floor is made of unknown metals, making it worthy of being a gathering place for blacksmiths.

Lou Gao sat in the main seat, with his hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes closed, and from time to time he blew up his gray beard, looking very unhappy.
He was just making a piece of equipment that he had been thinking about for a long time, but when he was about to implement it, he was interrupted by a sudden visit from the Spirit Hall. The key point was that the visitor had an elder's order, which meant that the other party's identity was definitely not simple, but he could not offend him.
Although he did not like the Spirit Hall's tyranny, as the president of the Blacksmith Association, he had to build a good relationship with the Spirit Hall to ensure the continued development of the association.

The point is that the Spirit Hall's arrival is probably not a good thing, and it may be related to the incorporation.

As one of the three great craftsmen in existence, Titan and Spirit Hall are on opposite sides, so it is almost impossible to recruit them, not to mention Tang Hao. Only he, the president of the association, can try.
He had been harassed countless times by the Spirit Hall over the years, but he had never expected that the Spirit Hall would actually send an elder here. Was it going to cause a rift?
Thinking of this, Lou Gao was still a little nervous. After all, he was only at the Soul Saint level. No matter how strong his forging skills were, it would be difficult to integrate them into actual combat.

"President, the distinguished guest from the Spirit Hall has arrived."

The guard entered the room first and spoke, followed by Su Chen and Juhuaguan.
"Understood, you go down first."

Lou Gao opened his eyes and said to the guards, looking at Su Chen and the other man,

Su Chen looked unfamiliar, and Juhuaguan next to him was pretending to be a ghost, wearing a windbreaker and mask, hiding his true face.

Lou Gao was the first to test the waters. "May I ask what business the two of you have in coming to the Blacksmith Association for? You are not here to forge equipment, are you?"

"Just kidding, I really am here to make equipment."

Su Chen saw Lou Gao's vigilance and did not rush to propose recruiting him. Instead, he used the excuse of forging weapons to bring up the follow-up topic.

"Oh?"

Lou Gao looked at Su Chen in surprise. Could it be that the person in front of him really asked him to make weapons? That would save him a lot of trouble. At least there would be no conflict.

As he said this, his tone and words became more tactful. "What does this young master want to make? Soft armor or a handy weapon? Just make your request. If I can't make it, there are few people in this world who can do it."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, placing a blueprint in front of Lou Gao.
And you brought the blueprint? You don't trust my creative skills?

He was a little dissatisfied with the height of the building, but he didn't say much. He picked up the blueprint and started to look at it.

But after a quick glance, Lou Gao changed from being disdainful at first to being serious later. He put on the monocle on the table and stared at the drawings intently.

Su Chen did not interrupt, but looked at the building quietly.

In the original novel, Lou Gao boarded Tang San's pirate ship and joined the Tang Sect because of hidden weapons.
When the finale was approaching, he even sacrificed his blood and essence to create the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles that could be used multiple times. It could be activated by soul power, and its power was increased several times. It was considered the prototype of soul guide manufacturing.

The original master craftsman, the model of dedicated research, just became a so-called cannon fodder. The most important thing is that the door to soul guides that he opened with his life was not inherited. Obviously, he had the Rain of Pear Blossom Needle that could be used multiple times, and he could have continued his research and continued the development of soul guides from then on, and he would not be suppressed by the next door Sun and Moon.
Unfortunately, after Tang San became a god, he blocked all the ways of making hidden weapons and did not allow anyone to make hidden weapons. The Stormy Pear Blossom Needle, which he had improved with great difficulty, also had no direction for research.

The sacrifice of a master craftsman was thought to bring about the revival of soul guides, but in the end it only allowed Tang San to use the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles for fun once.

Lou Gao was still concentrating on looking at the soul guide blueprint.
But this blueprint has many similarities with his ideas, but there are also many other places that have been greatly changed, and some of the exquisite details made him applaud.

Over the years, he has been studying soul guides, but how can he alone break through the knowledge barrier formed over countless years?
He could only keep trying, keep failing, and then continue researching.
This drawing incorporates the essence of his many previous drafts, while eliminating many unreasonable parts.

However, this blueprint is only a third-level soul guide blueprint.

Su Chen was afraid that Lou Gao might faint on the spot if he saw something too difficult, so he picked a simpler one to help the other party calm down first.

After reading the blueprints, Lou Gao stayed where he was, muttering to himself as he walked into the forging room.
"Is this the way this place is supposed to be... I'm going to give it a try..."

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that Lou Gao was about to leave, Su Chen coughed loudly twice to interrupt the other party's attention.
These two sounds made Lou Gao look at Su Chen and the others. He remembered that the blueprint in his hand was provided by Su Chen, so he quickly stepped forward, held Su Chen's shoulders, and asked excitedly, "Where did you get this blueprint?"

"Master Lou Gao likes it? I still have a lot here."

Su Chen answered with a smile, but did not take out more drawings.

When Lou Gao heard Su Chen say this, his heart almost jumped out. Are there more than one drawings like this?
His original idea was that with this blueprint as a guide, he would be able to figure out the manufacturing process of soul guides and spread it within a few years.

Blueprints like this were probably left behind by the ancients, and their rarity was self-evident. At least he had been looking for things related to soul guides for many years and had never encountered such blueprints.

"Young Master, are you selling your blueprints? I can buy them for a high price."

Lou Gao walked forward with a smile, stared at Su Chen and asked.

Su Chen shook his head, "This is a priceless treasure, you can't afford it."

Lou Gao's smile froze on his face. He thought that Su Chen could take out the blueprint casually but didn't understand its value. It seems that Su Chen did understand and realized that the blueprint represented the revival of the soul guide, and its significance and value were immeasurable.

At this moment, he no longer underestimated Su Chen. He reluctantly placed the blueprint on the table, calmed down his mind, and asked, "You must have other intentions in coming to me. Just tell me. What you offer is enough to drive me crazy."

"Let me make it clear in advance. Although I am the president of the Blacksmith Association, I am not the only one who has the final say in the association."

"Don't worry, Master Lou Gao. My request will not embarrass you. On the contrary, as long as you are willing, I can easily agree to it."

Su Chen stood up, looked directly at Lou Gao and said, "I want you to join the Soul Instructor Association and serve as its president."
